Definitions
- the present invention relates to a frangible practice ammunition or bullet for use in shooting galleries and the like.
- Lead gallery bullets are well known; ⁇ they are characterized by the use of powders of lead consolidated into a bullet having sufficient strength for use and intended to be disrupted into small fragments on impact with a gallery target.
- the problem is replacing lead for the purpose of a gallery shooting round is to find a materiel sufficiently heavy that the automatic weapons will be able to cycle and the shooter will see few differences. Costly, abrasive or toxic heavy metals should be avoided while a cheap production process is required to keep production costs low.
- the main criteria for the ability of a round to cycle autoloader weapons is the amount of energy that it delivers to the cycling mechanism. For some type of weapons, this energy is delivered by the expanding gases pushing back the cartridge case. This type may be found with the 9 mm Browning Hi-Power pistol for example. For some others, high pressure gases are connected through a port pressure inside the barrel. The high pressured gases are then the source of energy for the cycling mechanism. This type is found in most 5.56 NATO nominated weapons, like the Colt M16.
- Weapons and propellant powders are designed to work with a projectile of a certain mass that gives a typical pressure-vs-time curve. Using a lighter projectile will cause problems, the main one being too low an energy transfer to give the feeding mechanism the needed momentum to cycle, in certain type of weapons.
- the selected material In order to replace lead in a projectile, the selected material should have a minimum weight so that the resulting projectile mass is compatible with commercially available propellants for that calibre. . This is important since it would not be economically viable to develop a lead-free round where a special propellant or other component would need to be developed.
- European patent number 0,096,617 issued to Societe Francaise de Munitions, describes a training bullet having a mixture of nylon, a powder of a ductile metal and a solid lubricant. This patent describes practice ammunitions wherein the density of the compound is between 3 and 5 g/cm 3 .
- metals lighter than copper are not suitable since they are too light to reach the above-mentioned required density of 5.7 g/cm 3 while metals heavier than copper are considered either as having high toxicity and abrasive effect or being simply too expensive for the task.
- thermoplastic molding resin which will enable to obtain these characteristics is nylon 11, or nylon 12.
- a compacted mixture of copper and nylon wherein copper is at least 92% by weight can best be achieved by injection -molding.
- a lead-free training round breaks up into small particles when hitting a hard surface, like a steel plate. Each of these particles is then too light to carry enough energy to be considered as a dangerous projectile.
- a projectile With the 5.56 mm, if the projectile hits an armoured steel plate with an incidence angle of 90° and a velocity of 2,000 feet per second, particles that should splash back will not perforate a sheet of newsprint grade of paper placed one meter from the steel plate.
- such projectile should be sufficiently impact resistant to stand the high accelerations that occur on firing, plus the deformations that result from weapon rifling.
- a nylon- copper compound as a lead replacement material should meet the following mechanical properties.
- the Izod Impact should be between 120 J/m and 140 J/m and the percentage of elongation before breaking should be at least 1.7%. Should the Izod impact be too low, the projectile will break up on firing. If it is too high, the minimum angle of incidence at which the projectile will break up and not ricochet on hitting a target will be too large. If the percentage of elongation before breaking is too low, the projectile will break up when deformed by the rifling of the weapon.
- Another important dimensional criteria is the volume of the projectile which should be optimized in order to obtain the heaviest projectile possible.
- the inventors have worked with the ogive and the overall length of the projectile in order to push the weight of the 5.56 mm projectile up to 36 grains.
- the gyroscopic stability factor of this projectile is 1.25. Trying to get a better gyroscopic stability factor means compromising on weight. With this stability factor and a weight of 36 grains, an optimal design has been reached.
- Figures 2 and 3 are graphs illustrating the relationship of copper content to the flexural modulus and Iz_od impact
- Figure 4 is a partly cross-sectional elevation of 9mm caliber made in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 5 is a partly cross-sectional elevation of 5.56mm caliber made in accordance with the present invention. DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
- Figures 2 and 3 show a sharp decrease in elongation and Izod impact as the copper content increases. This also emphasises the need for a thoroughly controlled compounding process.
- Compounding up to a 88% copper content by weight can be made by standard processes. Higher than 90%, a special technique is required.
- Injection molding of mixtures of fine metal powders and plastic resins, or binders combines the strength and durability of metal with the design versatility of plastic injection molding. It is finding a place in metal parts with intricate geometries that would cost many times more to produce by machining, die casting, etc.
- thermoplastic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene and others.
- the low shrink factor, thermal stability and the available powder form grade are some of the major points which favor the choice of nylon 11 for the resin matrix function.
- the particular frangible material of the present invention can be classified as a metal polymer composite due to its composition which includes:
- - a metal filler ultra fine copper powder
- - a binder thermoplastic polymer resin
- wetting agent or lubricant calcium and zinc stearate, molybdenum disulphide, organo zirconate.
- these components are mixed, homogenized and made up in granules in accordance with the following steps: a) raw materials are pre-weighed according to the determined final mix; b) then, there is dry blending or tumbling of dry metal powders, polymer particles and additives; c) a thermal blending or combination of solid particles is prepared with the use of equipment which will mix together different materials into a uniform single homogeneous mass; d) a screw extruder is used to optimize the quality of the extruded composite mass. Temperature are attained to melt the polymer, adhesively bonding it to the solid metallic particles. A conventional twin-screw extruder is preferably used to extrude the compound.
- the output passes through a dicing chopper, or pelletizer, which delivers the material in a form suitable for feeding the hoppers of injection molding machines; e) the finely divided composite of metal and polymer which has been prepared by thermal extrusion blending is then classified in particle size according a specific pattern.
- the frangible compound must have the following characteristics:
- Nylon 11 and nylon 12 are preferred because they have the lowest moisture retention characteristics of the polymer family.
- the morphology of nylon 11 and nylon 12 can be described by two phases: an amorphous phase and a crystalline phase where the crystaliinity is in the order of 20%.
- nylon 11 se i-crystallinity nature of nylon 11 is characterized by its heat of fusion (11 calories/gram) , its melting point (185°C) , its high crystallization rate and its low water absorption to saturation which,
- nylon 11 and nylon 12 are linear and semi-crystalline thermoplastics.
- Nylon 11 is derived from castor oil and nylon 12 comes from butadiene. Because of differences in crystal structure caused through amide group, nylon 12 has a slightly lower melting point and density. Nylon 11 performs better at higher temperature and, in addition, has superior UV resistance. Both materials are not so sensitive to changes in humidity as other polyamides. Nylon 11 has a higher heat distortion and a better low temperature impact resistance.
- nylon 11 and nylon 12 have a low melting point, low density, low shrink and, by far, the lowest moisture regain.
- Copper is selected for the following characteristics: density: 8.8 - 8.95; lead free; ductibilit-y-;_good adherence to polymer; non abrasive; cost efficiency.
- the selected grade is directly related to the particle geometry which has been determined to be spheroidal to allow high loading in thermoplastic resin and permit extrusion and injection molding.
- Spheroidal is meant to designate copper particles which are not perfectly spherical. Satisfactory results have been obtained with particles having a form factor between 1 and 1.2 (which is the ratio of the longest diameter to the shortest diameter) .
- two different grades of copper have been used: - US bronze C118 which is classified as a spherical powder 99.2% copper with a nominal mesh of less than 200;
- a wetting agent or coupling agent may be used to facilitate a most uniform liaison between copper particles and improve the flexibility of the composite mix.
- An organo-zirconate from Kenrich Petrochemical (KRN2 44) has been used and shown good results.
- Many polymers are susceptible to oxydation which causes either a reduction in chain length and molecular weight (chain scission) leading to a loss of stiffness strength and embrittlement. Oxydation can be slowed down at moderate processing temperatures and its effects are then associated with ageing or quite fast at high processing temperatures and its effects are then associated with thermal stability.
- Antioxydant represents one type of additive which contribute to the control of oxydation in frangible compound.
- a primary oxydant which may be used in the present invention is of the type "hindered phenolic".
- a secondary antioxydant engaged in a synergistic action with the primary oxydant is an organophosphite. The judicious combination of these two additives is a must to assure thermo-oxydative protection to the nylon during processing and after processing (long term protection) .
- thermoplastic polymers such as nylon
- metallic filler such as copper powder
- the interaction between them in presence of oxygen can lead to polymer degradation.
- Copper metal is easily oxydized and the presence of metal ions can act as a catalyst on the thermal oxydation of polymer, even in presence of hindered phenolic antioxydant.
- Much more efficient inhibition will be achieved by using a metal deactivator together with antioxydants.
- a metal deactivator/antioxydant should be selected for the frangible ammunition due to the fact that copper is in direct contact with nylon resin. It is classified as a diacylhydrazine resulting from a molecular combination of sterically hindered phenols and metal complexing group.
- thermoplastic elastomer making super tough polyamide or nylon polymer is of the olefinic type. Linear elastomeric molecules or cross- linked very small elastomeric particles, most frequently ethylene-propylene are blended with a compatible thermoplastic, most commonly polypropylene in ratio that determines the stiffness of the resulting elastomer. This class is often referred to as the olefinic thermoplastic elastomer.
- the compounding of frangible compound copper- nylon involves a molten-polymer-hot metal interface. It is often desirable to reduce the tendency of molten polymers to_ stick to hot metal surface during processing (roll mills, extrusion) .
- Additives added to the polymer for this purpose are often referred to as external lubricant and their r ⁇ le is clearly different from that of internal lubricants which primarily affect the viscous flow of the polymer.
- an aluminium salt of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids or aluminium stearate
- this aluminium stearate additive is of great efficiency in the frangible compound with its high melting point and its chemical compatibility with copper.
- Light in itself would not do much direct harm to polymers but the radiations, in particular ultra ⁇ violet (UV) radiations, tend to initiate or catalyse chemical degradation such as oxydation in a process often globally referred to as "photooxydation".
- UV radiations in particular ultra ⁇ violet (UV) radiations
- photooxydation chemical degradation
- the reduction of the photooxydation can be done with suitable additives often distinguish between UV absorbers which reduces the essential factor of the degradation and light stabilizers which control its progress.
- a UV absorber based on benzotriazole has been selected in combination an oligomeric light stabilizer belonging to the class of sterically hindered amine to achieve a synergistic effect.
- These two additives have extreme low volatility and high thermal stability making them ideal for processing with this nylon resin compound.
